🇬🇷 Greece – National Follow-Up Activities and Impact

As the host country of the CACAT-NFE-FORI project, the Greek team—led by Youth Navis—continued to spread the message of inclusion, creativity, and intercultural learning well beyond the exchange in Kato Alissos. Their main follow-up event took place on 14 October 2025 during the Erasmus+ Days, where participants presented the project's outcomes, shared personal reflections, and discussed the transformative power of art in non-formal education. The event gathered around 15 attendees, including youth, educators, and community members, who actively engaged in discussions about inclusion, creativity, and European cooperation. Through interactive storytelling, visual presentations, and personal testimonies, the team highlighted how culture and creative arts can unite young people across borders.

Beyond the live session, Youth Navis amplified the project's visibility by sharing videos, photos, and reflections on their social media platforms—Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn—and even extended outreach to local schools, such as the Primary School of Kamena Vourla, via informative emails. Participants like Panagiotis Souliotis, Panagiotis Banias, Paris Banias, Alexandros Paraskevopoulos, Lydia Paraskevopoulou, and Konstantinos Floros expressed heartfelt reflections on how the project shaped their confidence, creativity, and intercultural understanding. The Greek team's initiatives not only celebrated the success of CACAT-NFE-FORI but also reinforced the ongoing mission of Youth Navis—to use art, culture, and education as bridges toward a more inclusive and united Europe.

Follow-Up Activity 

As part of our dissemination strategy, Youth Navis organized a dedicated follow-up event during the Erasmus+ Days 2025, held on 14th October 2025. This event served as a platform for participants of our KA152 Youth Exchange to showcase the outcomes, experiences, and impact of the program. Through interactive presentations and discussions, they shared the activities carried out during the exchange, highlighting key learnings, intercultural experiences, and the collaborative spirit fostered throughout the project.

The event attracted an audience of approximately 15 individuals, including young people, students, educators, and youth workers, who engaged actively with the presentations and contributed to the dialogue around youth mobility and non-formal education. This dissemination effort not only amplified the visibility of our project but also strengthened local networks and inspired future participation in Erasmus+ initiatives.

Except the previous activities, we published in Youth Navis social media, Facebook, YouTube channel and Instagram, videos, photos and information about the program.
